It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I thought this was not possible because RM had already re-negotiated this season. It doesn't matter. Moss is here to stay. He and the FO know a good thing when they live it. Tom would probably surrender salary to keep Randy in the fold.
That is correct, they can't renegotiate his current contract until the second day of the draft (that's they day they renegotioted his last one). My question is, does an extension that doesn't affect this years contract count as renegotiating the current contract?
How about creating a sticky with the rules.
Moss renegotiated his contract to come here in the offseason. Basically, you can only renegotiate your contract once a year. I know the rule is a little more complex than that, but... the basic idea is we can not sign him again during the season even if both sides wanted to
No reason to worry though we still have the franchise tag
In the last installment of “Ask PFW” a reader asked when the Pats and Randy Moss’ agent would start negotiating a contract. As I understand it, a player cannot negotiate a contract more than once in a calendar year. If that’s the case, won’t the Pats have to wait until after the season to get something done with Moss since he restructured at the point they traded for his rights?

The 12-month renegotiation rule is probably the most misunderstood rule in the NFL. The rule is not that you cannot renegotiate the contract twice in the same year. The rule is that the second renegotiation in a 12-month period simply cannot increase the cap charge in the overlapping years. So, the Patriots could renegotiate Moss’ deal today, as long as the new deal doesn’t have a 2008 cap charge greater than his current $3 million cap charge.
For example, if the Patriots minimize Moss’ salary for the rest of the year, moving it from $2.5 million to his minimum of $720,000, that would leave plenty of room to fit a new signing bonus in as part of an extension.
Someone starts this topic every day. Can we just get a sticky for it?
